I have no issue with Phil Regan being named the interim because
A) it doesn't matter who the PC is, the bullpen will continue to suck no matter who is in charge of it (and the pitching coach, along with every other position is Jeff anyway)

B) the players all love this guy, which is important for a PC in an org where it doesn't matter who the PC is that much- he's been at the minors forever and molded each and every pitcher thats come up, no one has bad things to say about him.

C) this season is lost anyway, so who cares who it is.

The season was ruined by the
-failure to sign depth in the right spots to protect from injury
-ruined by forcing hurt players to play through injury, thus making their injuries go from minor to significant, if not career-threatening in some cases
-DESPITE having an incredible young talented core of players who you don't need to pay much, not surrounding them with good FA talent. They save so much money by having guys like Alonso, McNeil, Conforto, Dom Smith, etc being a part of this team on non-contratcs. Its inexcusible they can't and/or won't build around that properly.

and guess what . these 3 things happen EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. The team is always built in half-measures. built to be "good enough to get by" as a 70-79 win team every year. this is done intentionally so people say "well at least theyre not as bad as team X that is winning 60 games". just like they count insurance money saved (on cespedes/wright/etc) towards payroll, and then dont actually re-invest that money in the team, just so they can see "look see we're top 10 in payroll" (they're bottom 10 in payroll if you subtract the money they don't have to pay to ces and wright). The wilpons operate for the back pages and the ego. Thats why they won't trade to the yankees and 'get pissed' when the yankees do well and make big signings (dead serious, there's articles about that). Everything they do is a completely unacceptable way to run a club
